Sometimes homework can be fun!
I bought this book (and a big handful of others in this and a second series) to do research into writing for Guideposts.
What a joy. Mystery wrapped around family dynamics and small town living.
Adams gives a warm, enjoyable introduction to the Allen clan, all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Pearl Allen, the "grandma" of the series title.
Tracy, who inherited the house and has possession of the attic full of unexplored treasures and memories -- and mysteries to come! -- reads a name written into Grandma's Bible. This is a member of their family, but she doesn't know who he is.
Her search for answers follows a logical progression and reveals some painful details of our country's recent past, as well as gives some insight into the conundrums and joys and sorrows of adoption.
Can't wait to read more in the series, and continue exploring the town and the family and the attic.
